I am bidding on this car on eBay.

Before I go too high, I would like to know more about it. Does anyone know this car and the owner? Do any of you have the time to look it over for me? I sure would be grateful.

Thanks,
Grady

Looks like a nice car. I'm about 2 hrs away. I have a retirement party in Mlps I need to attend this weekend, so I'm stuck Saturday. But maybe I can drive there Sunday on the way home. If Bruce doesn't have you covered, pm me the number just in case.

I actually stopped and looked at that car a couple of weekends ago on the way to the cabin. The sheet in the window said he wanted about $4000 for it.
The paint is pretty rough, definitely not as nice as it looks in the pictures. The interior was pretty rough too.

I will be going up there again this weekend, and would be happy to take a closer look at it and take some pics if you would like.

I really appreciate you all taking the time to look at it for me. It really looked good in the ads. I am glad you told me it is not a pretty paint job. I had not even thought to look at his feedback until you mentioned it. The seller did send me these pics. I will try to post.
